In the elder days, Open Source is the way of computing.
Back then, the right of sharing needed no explicit grants.
The good old days. Things got a bit complicated when the
mass got into the picture. They started complaining that our
software isn't user friendly. They've forgotten, if they
knew it in the first place, that those software were never
supposed to be used by them.

However, the Open Source people are very kind indeed. "If
the average users want to use our software, why not we make
it easier to use for the mass? why don't we promote the use
of our software to benefit more people?". Many Open Source
people had voluntarily take up the responsibility of making
better software for the mass. Thereafter, the Open Source
culture was diluted, positively for the better.

Open Source people write software to solve their
problems. We share the software becoz we feel that it's
really a very bad thing if everybody has to write his own
version of software to solve a same problem. We share the
source codes becoz we know that nobody produces perfect
codes, distributing the source codes give the others (and
ourselves) a chance to improve it. This way, we'll all
eventually get better software.

When the software we wrote solved our problems, we're
already happy enough. We've got our problems solved and we
had fun while writing it. Of course, it feels better if
somebody else find it useful and actually use it. If someone
is kind enough to help us to improve our software, we'll be
even happier. Do we really care if there's anyone out there
using our software? I doubt that, tho' it's kind of
motivation if we know that there are.

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser
code is live. It needs further work but already handles most
markup better than the original parser.
